[ Resolved ] Permaband

I have a question.
Tomorrow’s gift is a Permaband cap.
Is Permaband a sponsor of the game? Do they own stock?
I tried to look up Permaband on Wikipedia but did not find anything. I did find something on YouTube. Is the Permaband rock band the Permaband for EVE? And why?
Thanks for your replies.

It’s a band of former (I think) developers who where passionate about the game.

Permaband was a talented, funny, creative group of EVE devs, putting together some pretty cool music videos and inspiration for EVE players.

The new band is ‘Crowd Kon7trol’ and they’re pretty good also, have to see what they come up with.

You don’t see as much of it now that the game is heading into it’s 3rd decade, but there were a lot of funny, talented and amusing people and videos getting creative back in the day. (Of course, some of the spoofs and disses were funnier if you were around for the events that inspired them.)

Also some actual cinematic movies and stuff. Pretty amazing really.

It will go straight to the trash.

Not even. They’re just a bunch of yahooz who think they’re Red Hot Chili Peppers playing bad music and singing annoying songs.

It sounds like fun.

@Malak_Starfire @Kezrai_Charzai Thank you for your informative replies.

still for me ranks as some of the most funniest stuff ive ever seen in eve. you have to admire what they put into it and the tekno viking skit still has me lolling every time i see it

Do you have a link so that I may also lol ?

lol remember when ccp still had employees that believed in HTFU?

Now their employees don’t even believe in EVE. It’s just a paycheque for the least amount of work they can get away with.

Mr Epeen :sunglasses:

Is there a link to the “viking skit” ?

I’m guessing he means the bit in the HTFU song where Guard says “Ladies and gents, it’s Techno-viking!” (or something like that) re: one of the devs in the video (who’s rather better padded than the actual Techno-viking).

I will watch the video then and hope that is what he is referring to.
I found a few videos on YouTube about “TechnoViking” with shirtless men but I am not sure those are relevant to what he mentioned.

Thank you very much for replying, Kezrai

NP. It was one of the early viral videos I guess, got a fair bit of buzz. From back in the days when you should have been getting Rick-rolled and wondering “What does the Fox say?”.

@Kezrai_Charzai :laughing: Okay, thank you so much!
Watching that video I feel like I have been in a cave for the past 30 years.

It isn’t you. They’re a bunch of weirdos.

Yeah double his pay and get him back :grinning:
